Commentary "Just at this moment Sancho came up, and on seeing the pair in such a costume he was unable to restrain his laughter".
Seeing the priest disguised with woman clothes and the barber with a fake beard, Sancho roars with laughter.
In the background, the innkeeper Juan Palomeque and his wife.
Very remarkable figures; notice Sancho's expression.
Great interest in representing real Spanish characters and accurate period clothes, setting and details.
Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects. 
Notes 1 – Reproduction of the original sketch (Chinese ink and gouache white). Jiménez Aranda meant to paint a more-finished drawing after this sketch using natural sceneries and real models, but he died before completing the project.
2 - "Justamente estos bocetos son los primeros, según nuestras noticias, que el autor ejecutó en Sevilla, en la última etapa de su labor" (José Ramón Mélida: “Don José Jiménez Aranda y su "Quijote"", vol. I TEXTO, p. XLIX).
